Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 521 There is a sky outside the sky
Yang Qian’s greatest curiosity about the Sword Domain is not about the magical methods or existence here, but where the strong people who left these things have gone?
A more general question is what happened to the entire Sword Sect, so that only this secret place is left, where are the people? Where did everyone go?

How powerful must the force be to leave behind a magical secret realm like the Sword Realm? How many semi-immortals in the Tongxuan realm are there? Are there even any real immortals?
"You are very smart."

The corner of the man who called himself Huang Jitian's mouth seemed to pull up, as if he was laughing. It was obvious that Yang Qian's question contained many other questions.

"To answer your question I need to first explain to you the origin of the Sword Gate."

"Juniors are all ears."

"The founder of the Sword Sect is called Qing. He is the master of both sword and knife, and he swept across the Northern Xuan Realm without any opponent.

But after several generations of changes, the Sword Sect no longer had a genius like Qing who could practice sword and knife alone, so the sword and knife skills were separated, and the Sword Sect and the Sword Sect were divided. Although they have the same origin, their methods are different.

As time went on, differences began to arise between the two sects, and both were vying for the title of "main sect" of the Sword and Blade Sect, hoping to suppress the other.

Later, the dispute turned into a quarrel, and finally a fight led to a bloodbath. The Sword Sect fell apart, and each sect established a new one.

It was not until the Tianmen collapsed, the Divine Palace dimmed, and the Beixuan Realm changed drastically that the Daomen and Jianmen were forced to reunite, hoping to once again cultivate a strong man like their ancestor Qing who was proficient in both swords and knives to resist the invasion of disasters.

But in the end, they failed. Like many powerful forces in the entire Northern Xuan Realm, they were bound by destiny and ultimately failed to break free. They could only perish in the vast river of time.

This secret realm is the last thing left of the Sword Sect."

This sounded more like a story from a book. The mention of both Heavenly Gate and Divine Palace reminded Yang Qian of the mural he had seen in the tomb of the Sky-Bearing Demon Master, which also mentioned Heavenly Gate.

Moreover, the words on the archway that almost cost Yang Qian his life when he was climbing the mountain also mentioned "Tianmen" and "Shentang".

Is this referring to the fairyland?
"What is the great change in the Northern Xuan Realm that Senior mentioned? How could a powerful force like the Sword Sect be wiped out in one fell swoop?"

"Do you know what fate is? What is the secret of heaven?"

"This junior has only a limited knowledge and dare not embarrass himself."

"Destiny is the thread of your existence in this world. It is something you have when you are born, and it will continue to change as you grow. With your current cultivation level, you should be able to easily perceive some things about destiny, right?
The secret of heaven is the thread of the operation of heaven and earth. You can simply understand it as the "destiny" of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth will constantly change their secrets for various reasons. The direction of the secret of heaven is consistent with the changes of heaven and earth.

When the mysteries of heaven and earth and the fate of the creatures between heaven and earth are at a common intersection, destiny is produced. Sometimes it is a disaster, sometimes it is a blessing.

But the collapse of the Heavenly Gate and the dimming of the Divine Palace are destiny's signs of impending disaster. Under such heavy pressure, unless one breaks destiny with force, one will only be crushed in the huge vortex of destiny. Just like the Sword Gate, it disappeared without a trace."

"Since destiny is so difficult to overcome, why do you still leave this secret place?"

"because I."

"Senior? What do you mean?"

"I was the last leader of the Sword and Blade Sect. I was also the only one who could barely bring together the two ultimate skills of sword and knife. I thought I could break the destiny with my strength and save the Sword and Blade Sect's ten thousand year foundation. Unfortunately, I still failed. I could only gather a secret realm in the end to leave a possibility for the Sword and Blade Sect to inherit."

Now Yang Qian had figured out the cause and effect. Although he still didn't quite understand what the destiny mentioned by Huang Ji Tian was, he could simply understand that the Beixuan Realm, including the Sword Sect, had experienced a catastrophe, which led to the upheaval of the world and the destruction of the sect.

Huang Jitian, as the last leader of the Sword Sect, used all his strength to leave this Sword Domain as a legacy when he found himself powerless to resist fate. "Any more questions?"

"What is the Heavenly Gate? What is the Divine Palace? It seems that what the senior said is that this destiny catastrophe was transmitted from the Heavenly Gate and the Divine Palace to the Northern Xuan Realm? So is that the legendary fairyland?"

"The Immortal Realm? The real Immortal Realm has long been gone since the collapse of the Ten Yuan Mountain. Tianmen is the main gate of the Northern Mysterious Realm, and the Divine Palace is the closest place to the heaven and earth in the Northern Mysterious Realm.

When the will of heaven is in chaos and destiny is formed, it will naturally start from the Divine Palace, then flow down from the Heavenly Gate, and finally fill the Northern Mysterious Realm. "

"What kind of destiny is so powerful?"

Yang Qian couldn't think of any natural disaster that could kill a cultivator like Huang Ji Tian. It couldn't be that the heaven and earth were indiscriminately sending down thunderbolts, right?
In the end, Huang Ji Tian answered with just one word.

"poison."

"Ah? Poison? What do you mean, senior?"

"Spiritual energy breeds poisonous miasma, spiritual stones breed poisonous miasma, and so do spiritual herbs and medicines. There is no place in the world that can be safe and sound. It is silent and hopeless. In just a few hundred years, everything will be melted away."

"Even a senior with such a high level of cultivation can't resist it?"

"Me? What's the point of being in the late Tongxuan realm? Those remaining immortals who are struggling to survive and want to return to the immortal world can't stand it if they hide in the Divine Palace. They will all turn into powder. No one can break free!"

"What about martial artists? They have almost no need for spiritual energy, so it's impossible..."

Before Yang Qian could finish his words, Huang Jitian interrupted him and said, "There are too few martial artists. Unless you can get the most ancient martial soul pill in the legend, you will still be doomed. There are also many martial artists in the sword sect. It's useless."

Yang Qian's heart trembled. What is the "legendary Wuhun Pill"? His Dantian is the Wuhun Pill, but it was made according to the description of the Wuxiu Inner Pill in "Ten Yuan Yizhi". He always thought that all Wuxiu should be the same as him, right?

But from what Huang Jitian said, it was not the case at all!
However, Yang Qian would definitely keep the matter of the Wuhun Pill a secret. At the same time, another word mentioned by Huang Jitian made Yang Qian even more suspicious.

Remnant Immortal? What is that? It must be something special if it has the word "immortal" in it. So he asked immediately.

Huang Jitian answered every question and said, "You've heard of the story of the collapse of Shiyuan Mountain, right? The remnant immortals refer to the immortals who went down to Beixuan Realm before the collapse of Shiyuan Mountain and did not have time to return to the immortal world."

"Immortal?! Are there really immortals in this world?!"

"Of course there are immortals in the world. But it's been who knows how many years since the catastrophe of destiny, and those remaining immortals have all died out. Now, I guess there are no immortals left."

It was as if a storm was brewing in Yang Qian's mind, blowing away many of his previous speculations and strange things he had seen, and churning them around in his mind.

"Can we still go to the fairyland?"

"I don't know. But there is a possibility. That is, if you survive the thirty-nine heavenly tribulations and become an immortal right away, you might be able to break through the barrier and go to the immortal world, right?"
